: I guess I am not the best friend, but I am fortunate enough to be on the reciprical end of friendships from a number of people who really know what friendship is. As if that in itself isn't good enough, they even know how to put it into practice. Friendship is real if you put your love for the person into practice. For that to happen, you have to be willing to invest time and energy into the relationship. I am still learning how to be less self-centered and more Christ-centered. I figure if I can do that, I'll really know how to be a good friend. In addition, I'll truly appreciate the blessing that my many friends are.
i hear ya cari..i am one who tries my darnest to be the best friend i can to people..i am not one who tries to bind anyone under contract..at the same time...its a nice thought tho to be one day able to say..hey this is my good friend___ i cant say that about many people..about really anyone at the time...i am just expressing myself and tryin to be as constructive as i can about it..
it would be nice to get that close to someone..many are just scared..thats why at times i am just tryin my darnest to be gentle as many cant handle my in your face approach..well thats just how i am..i try my best to keep it under wraps..eventually it just comes out..thats just something i am gonna have to learn to accept..that my persona is just quite intimidating to some people...thats just how it is...i will learn as i go i guess.
